1 SEAFOOD INDUSTRY

3 INDUSTRY DEFINITION Aquaculture is the controlled production by man of vegetable and animal organisms which spend at least some of their life cycle in a water environment. These organisms, which include fish, mollusks and crustaceans, provide a range of business opportunities and are a nutritional alternative. The activity helps the recovery of diminishing natural populations. Wild-capture fishing is the extraction of aquatic organisms from continental waters in their natural state or subjected to development activities. THE SEAFOOD INDUSTRY IN MEXICO Mexico's enormous potential in the fisheries sector lies in its 11,592 kilometers of coastline, of which 76% are on the Pacific coast and 24% on the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean coast and islands. Its continental shelf is approximately 394,000 km², being larger in the Gulf of Mexico. It also has 12,500 km² of coastal lagoons and estuaries and 6,500 km² of inland waters such as lakes, lagoons, reservoirs, and rivers. Graph 1. Volume of Fishery Production in Mexico (thousands of tonnes.) * Aquaculture Capture Fishing, hunting and capture accounted for 1.7% of Mexico's agricultural GDP in 2013**. In 2014, the volume of fishery production in live weight was 1,751 thousand tons, a growth of 0.3% compared to the previous year. Of the total production volume, 81.4% was capture fishing and the remaining 18.6% aquaculture. The total production value was US$1,812 million. Aquaculture fish production in 2014 reached a value of US$776.1 million, the main species produced through this activity according to volume were: mojarra with a share of 37%, shrimp 27%, and oyster 14%. * Source: Secretariat of Agriculture, Livestock, Rural Development, Fisheries and Food (SAGARPA), National Commission of Aquaculture and Fishing (CONAPESCA). ** Source: INEGI.

5 THE SEAFOOD INDUSTRY IN MEXICO The production value of capture fishing in 2014 was 1,426 thousand tonnes; the species with the highest production volume being sardines with 39%, tuna 11%, and shrimp 5%.

Another important product is tuna, where Mexico is in 11th position, and shark where it is 5th

6 AQUACULTURE PRODUCTION There are more than 2,400 commercial fish farms in Mexico and around 800 self-consumption units. Among the states with the highest number of production centers are Veracruz with more than 600, which produce mainly tilapia. Shrimp farms are more common in Sinaloa, with more than 300 and Sonora with more than 130, which make a significant contribution to the supply of aquaculture foods. While there is certainly huge development potential for farmed shrimp production, in Mexico the greatest potential lies in the production of marine finfish and bivalve mollusks (oysters, clams and mussels). EMPLOYMENT In 2013, the fishing sector in Mexico employed 272,533 people, Sinaloa being the state with the highest number with a 17% share, followed by Veracruz with 15%, Tabasco 6.7%, Jalisco 5.4%, Sonora 5.3% and Michoacán 5.1%. PROCESSING AND INDUSTRIALIZATION The products with the highest percentage share of the fishing industry were: Graph 2.

7 PROCESSING AND INDUSTRIALIZATION In 2013, the production volume in net weight of the main industrialization processes was 509,103 tons. The growth of production obtained through canned processes between 2007 and 2013 is particularly noteworthy with an average annual growth rate of 9.8%.

12 The most important distribution channels for the sale of fish and fishery products in Mexico are supermarkets and markets. The Nueva Viga is the biggest seafood market in Latin America and is located in Mexico City. It is the second biggest market in the world for fish and fishery products in terms of volume (selling 150,000 tons a year) behind only Tokyo. The Mercado del Mar (Sea Market) in Zapopan, Jalisco, is another major point of sale for seafood in Mexico, playing a key role in the distribution of fish in the center and north of the country.

13 In 2014, Mexico's fish and crustaceans industry contributed 4.1% of all agricultural exports from the country, with a value of US$1,053 million. Industry exports have grown at an average annual rate of 6% during the period. Notably, in the last ten years, the industry has maintained a positive trade balance; in 2014 the surplus rose to US$127 million. Graph 4.

The export of aquatic invertebrates showed considerable annual growth of 223%. The number of export companies in Mexico in 2014 was around of 500. About 63% of export companies are located in the states of Sinaloa, Sonora, Baja California y Yucatán.

20 MEXICO MEETS INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS On April 22, 2014, the WTO announced its final ruling in favor of Mexico in the dispute over the restrictive effects caused by "dolphin-safe" labeling on Mexican tuna exports to the United States market. The Mexican government recognized the WTO's decision which confirms that the fishing methods used by the Mexican fleet comply with the highest international standards for the protection of species like dolphins. The method employed by the Mexican tuna fleet is regulated by the Agreement on the International Dolphin Conservation Program recognized by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) as having the highest sustainability, and which protects dolphins and tuna resources by avoiding the capture of juvenile tuna to ensure future supply. FAO figures for 2012 ranked Mexico 16th for world capture fishery production, representing 1.8% of the total. Despite Mexico's world ranking, its position is less favorable when the focus is on industrialization, a sign that with the raw material produced in the country, there is ample opportunity to invest in seafood processing and thereby increase value-added production. Furthermore, the aquaculture industry in Mexico is in a stage of development and growth and therefore affords important investment opportunities: the cultivation of mollusks like oysters, shrimp, white fish, tilapia, and others, for example. In particular there are species with potential for expansion such as abalone, clams, lobster, and shrimp. Exports can be increased through the introduction of Mexican products to the fast growing markets of Europe, Asia, and Russia, through key distribution channels like supermarkets.
